Chico state has added a new priority to its Strategic Plan for the Future. The new priority was drafted by the University Diversity Council last year, and after being reviewed by a number of Chico State committees and individuals, it was approved. The plan states “we will continue to develop and enhance programs, policies and activities to create and sustain a welcoming and inclusive learning and working environment for all.”

What does this mean for the university? Some of the actions to be implemented include:

Increase university outreach and access for underrepresented and diverse student groups

Improve the success of students from underrepresented populations

Ensure that curricular and co-curricular programs foster diversity,
equity, and inclusion competencies and engagement with the issues

Engage and support faculty, staff and student scholarship, creativity and research on diversity

Develop a shared understanding of “inclusive excellence” and what it means to be a Hispanic-Serving Institution
